Efficient generator of update packages for mobile devices that uses non-ELF preprocessing
First Claim
1. A method generating an update package by a generator that generates an update package comprising delta information between an old version V1 and a new version V2 of code wherein the code is capable of being executed in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- preprocessing by a preprocessor associated with the generator;
differencing by the generator; and
encoding by an encoder associated with the generator.

Abstract
An efficient generator for update packages employs one of two possible schemes to perform preprocessing when an ELF file or other similar information is not available. The first technique embeds the preprocessing in the generator loop and does not rely on the knowledge of the architecture. The second technique, called node list technique, needs to know the syntax of the assembly instructions used by the executable.
